I've been working to make some examples (and take the chance to test the
scripting as much as I can),
and I got a little bit crazy trying to put some pads in a module, finally
SetPos0 worked for me.

Finally It worked, but at the start I didn't know what was the right
method:  SetPosition or  SetPos0.

a) What's the difference with SetPosition and SetPos0 (this is the origin I
guess)?

b) I also played with SetOffset, what I don't know what is it for.



#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
from pcbnew import *

size_0_6mm = wxSizeMM(0.6,0.6)
size_1_0mm = wxSizeMM(1.0,1.0)


# create a blank board
pcb = BOARD()

pcb.m_NetClasses.GetDefault().SetClearance(int(FromMM(0.1)))

# create a new module, it's parent is our previously created pcb
module = MODULE(pcb)
module.SetReference("M1")   # give it a reference name
pcb.Add(module)             # add it to our pcb
m_pos = wxPointMM(50,50)
module.SetPosition(m_pos)

# create a pad array and add it to the module
n = 1
for y in range (0,10):
    for x in range (0,10):
        pad = D_PAD(module)
        pad.SetDrillSize(size_0_6mm)
        pad.SetSize(size_1_0mm)
        pt = wxPointMM(1.27*x,1.27*y)
*        pad.SetPos0(pt)*
*        #pad.SetPosition(pt)
 <-----------------------------------------------*
*   *     pad.SetPadName(str(n))
        module.Add(pad)
        n+=1


# save the PCB to disk
pcb.Save("/tmp/my2.brd")
